Throughput maximization problem is considered in this paper. Here, throughput analysis is done for fixed allocation of channels. Fixed allocation of channels means number of primary users allocated to a channel is considered to be fixed but the number of users is different for different channels. Primary users allocated to a specific channel compete to access the channel and the cognitive users sense the channel whether the channel is free or not. The transmission probabilities of primary and secondary users are different. In this paper we consider the delay related to channel access of secondary users. We consider number of secondary users is very large. Our objective is to find the optimal number of secondary users to maximize the total throughput of primary and secondary users.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
